Transonic Limits of Linearized Theory

Cole, J. D.
An error occurred while generating the citation.

Abstract

The transonic regime, extending from Mach numbers at which shock waves first appear with the associated drag rise to Mach numbers at which the head shock wave is firmly attached to the nose of the body, is well known. Not so well known, perhaps, is the reason for the failure of linearized theory to describe the flow in this regime, in particular, to permit an accurate calculation of the pressure.
